Verse
Take good care of what you've got, my father said to me
As he puffed his pipe and Baby B. he dandled on his knee
Don't fool with fools who'll turn away
Keep all good company
Chorus
Oo hoo, Oo hoo
Take care of those you call your own
And keep good company
Verse
Soon I grew and happy too, my very good friends and me
We'd play all day with Sally Jane, a girl from number four
And very soon I begged her won't you
Keep me company
Chorus
Oo hoo, Oo hoo, Oo hoo, Oo hoo
Come marry me forever more
We'll be good company
Interlude
Bridge
Now marriage is an institution, sure
My wife and I, our needs and nothing more
All my friends by a year by and by disappeared
But we're safe enough behind our door.
Verse
I flourished in my humble trade, my reputation grew
The work devoured my waking hours but when my time was through
Reward of all my efforts my own
Limited company
Instrumental
I hardly noticed Sally as we
Parted company
Bridge
All through the years in the end it appears
There was never really anyone but me
Verse
Now I'm old I puff my pipe but no-one's there to see
I ponder on the lesson of my life's insanity
Take care of those you call your own (own, own)
And keep good company
